Brook Joins Joe Root In A Test Full Of Achievements
Not just Brook but Joe Root has also left an indelible mark on this Test. His recent feat of becoming England's leading run-scorer in Tests, surpassing the legendary Sir Alistair Cook, is a testament to his contribution to the team. Root's 35th ton, which has also overtaken Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 Test tons, is a remarkable achievement. He now stands second only to Sachin Tendulkar, who holds the record with 51 Test centuries.
Brook and Root's combined excellence has been instrumental in helping England surpass 400. At the time of writing, England is at 485-3.
